This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
It burns deep down inside of me
We have ourselves to blame
Not questioning, accept it as the truth
Debate this fight; it's just cause
The facts do not support theirs
To liberate a people
And rid them of tyrant rule
Is it time to make the change?
Are we closer than before?
Can we help them break away?
Are we profiting from war?
It's time to make the change
(A change)
Catch your attention
(Deceived)
Since the inception
(Afraid)
Fight for what reason?
(Come out)
Can we clean up this mess?
The loss of loved one's ignorant request
They continue the same rhetoric
These derelicts that profit, win or lose
Is it time to make the change?
Are we closer than before?
Can we help them break away?
Are we profiting from war?
It's time to make a change
(Time for change
Fight the fear
Find the truth
Time for change)
The only thing that I believe
Will help us see this through is faith
Pray they will forgive
Forgive our arrogance
So we can make it right
Right what they have wronged
(I see you sweat
Unexpected, controversial
Keep this two wet
Things are gonna get this to know
Your sympathy
A pitiful display, you studder
Your empathy, you've nothing if there is no honor
Responsible of this you are incapable
We implicate, incriminate, exacerbate; too much at stake
Our fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers, sons and daughters thoughts
Perpetuating their ideals, and mine are sad to stay the course
Is it time to make the change?
Are we closer than before?
Can we help them break away?
Are we profiting from war?
Is it time to make the change?
Are we closer than before?
Can we help them break away?
Are we profiting from war?
Is it time to make a change
A change from what it's been?
Can we help them break away?
Is our patience wearing thin?
It's time to make a change
(Time for change
Fight the fear
Find the truth
Time for change)
We have ourselves to blame
Not questioning, accept it as the truth
Debate this fight; it's just cause
The facts do not support theirs
To liberate a people
And rid them of tyrant rule
Is it time to make the change?
Are we closer than before?
Can we help them break away?
Are we profiting from war?
It's time to make the change
(A change)

Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
Awesome song
